The Rocket Fishing Rod. So you’re not a particularly gifted fishing-person, eh? Well what you need is a little device which fires the hook, line and float in one go from a hand held pump action compressor unit. Sounds like sacrilege? Probably, and how do you think the fishes feel? Hint: not fab. £29.95.
The Rocket Fishing Rod eliminates the need for casting out and incorporates a mechanism which fires out hook, line and sinkers within a unique and patented capsule that will double as a float when in the water, alerting the user when a fish is biting the bait. The Rocket Rod will fire its capsule up to 30ft from a single pump of the shot gun-like loading mechanism and releases the baited hook as the capsule hits the water. As with traditional rods the Rocket Rod incorporates a reel for retrieval of line. This is closed faced and functions in the same way as a traditional reel with an adjustable drag designed to prevent line-breaks.
